Explanation
Rezoning Application Z19-086
APPLICANT: White Acres, LLC; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Contractor’s office and storage yard.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (4-0) on March 12, 2020.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 3.36± acre site is developed with a commercial tractor and farm equipment dealer/service facility in the R, Rural District as permitted by Ordinance #2734-2015 (CV15-061). The applicant requests the L-M-2, Limited Manufacturing District to permit a contractor’s office and storage yard. The limitation text establishes appropriate use restrictions and supplemental development standards that address landscaping and screening along the site’s Hayden Run Road frontage. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Interim Hayden Run Corridor Plan (2004), which recommends low density cluster and Hayden Run buffer land uses at this location. Additionally, the site is within an area that has early adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). While the proposal is not consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation of low-density cluster, the very limited manufacturing uses and proposed screening along Hayden Run Road are supportable. This request will not introduce incompatible uses to the area as the site has been historically used for similar purposes. A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #0855-2020; CV19-122) has been filed to reduce development standards for the proposed contractor’s office and storage yard to legitimize existing conditions.
